A combination of incongruous things, A miscellaneous anthology or collection,
A mixture of dried flower petals and spices used to scent the air,
You'll get it all here, but it isn't gonna smell pretty

Dear Parents,

Dear Parents who enjoy bike riding with their children,

Dear Parents who enjoy bike riding with their children while their kids wear bike helmets,

Dear Parents who enjoy bike riding with their children while their kids wear bike helmets yet you do not,

Why?

Just wondering if you think their heads are more delicate than yours? You don't want them to get hurt, damaged or even suffer something more worse? Even fatal? Just wondering how they are gonna take care of you? Or manage without you?

Such an easy thing to do to help prevent a truly horrible situation.

Just asking, why?

Sincerely,

nancy, who has serious issues with this, and who always wears her helmet

Oh, and Marisa - I guess it is hard for us since my husband and I each know an individual who was killed from falling from their bikes. And no, they weren't racing or jumping or doing anything silly - simply riding.

I am so with you, here. It's really one of my pet peeves. I can't remember why I started wearing a helmet (not 'til my 20's) but I'm a huge advocate since a simple ride ended in a stiff neck and me SO grateful my head didn't look like my helmet did (think smashed pumpkin).

About Me

Happily married SAHM to six year-old twin boys, Gramps (my dad) lives next door who has two grandsons who idolize him...yadda yadda yadda...I am a cyncial, sarcastic, opinionated, outspoken loudmouth (potty mouth too) who is in love with being a Mommy (on most days) but has something to say about everything. I can't say I like to 'argue' but I enjoy a good heated discussion with opposing views, so lemme have it.
